Day 2 – A Glimpse of Paradise (Excursion to Kufri)
You can choose to spend the day as you wish; either go on a sightseeing tour of the city or opt for an excursion to Kufri.

About 17 km from Shimla, Kufri is a famous ski resort at an elevation of about 7500 feet. During the summer season, the destination is characterized by green meadows, surrounded by pindrow firs. You can sit on the grass and have a picnic, or go on a small trek.

After returning from Kufri, spend some time on Mall Road, the cultural heart of the city and a shopaholic’s delight. Later, sleep away at the hotel.

Day 3 – Hello, Manali (Shimla to Manali)
This day brings yet another scenic journey through the mountains; this time to Manali.

Manali is another popular holiday destination in the state as it too is replete with scenic beauty. The gurgling Beas River, lush forests of deodar, pleasant summer weather, and snowy mountains would refresh you from within.

After checking-in at the hotel here, you may go for a stroll through the town; later, doze off in your room.

Day 4 – Off to Rohtang (Optional Excursion to Rohtang Pass)
Today, you will have the best experience of this entire tour because we will now take you to Rohtang Pass, a famed attraction. Owing to its elevation of over 13000 feet, it gives clear views of mountains in summers and snowy fields in winters.

After spending the day in this magical realm, return to Manali and explore Mall Road, where you can shop for souvenirs or gorge on local dishes. Following this, get some sleep in your hotel room.

Day 5 – Charming Manali (Sightseeing in Manali)
After freshening up, head out to explore Manali; there are numerous sites you can visit during the day.

One of the most famous places here is the pagoda-style Hadimba Devi Temple. It is not only known for the elaborate carvings on it but also for the tranquil deodar forest it is situated in.

Another shrine in the town is Manu Temple, dedicated to sage Manu, the first human as per myths. This rather simple structure with a pyramidal tower above its sanctum is made of bricks and wood.

If feeling tired by now, then head straight to Vashisht village to take a dip in its hot sulfur springs. After getting refreshed, you may pay homage at Vashisht Temple, said to be around 4000 years old, or shop in the village.

Thereafter, make your way back to the hotel, and sleep the night away.

Day 6 – Le Corbusier???s Masterpiece (Manali to Chandigarh | Optional Sightseeing)

On reaching the hotel in Chandigarh, check-in and get some rest. Later, you could opt for a sightseeing excursion to some of the most visited attractions here.

You can visit Sukhna Lake, where activities like kayaking and boating are organized. You may also fish or just watch ducks in the pond.

Capitol Complex, where the major government buildings of Punjab and Haryana are situated, is also popular among tourists. An example of contemporary architecture, this complex is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
